Soo good to have a turntable again

|

Posted 3 years ago.

After a long while w/o a TT, I couldn't take it anymore and purchased the Audio-Technica. Very nice and I'm glad I did. Plays beautifully, is compact, looks well made and does the job. I'm pleased so far. Just get it and play on to the wee hours of the morning if like me you have a stack of LPs and haven't enjoyed them for lack of a TT.

I had originally purchased a “Victrola” briefcase style turntable. That was my first mistake. Took it back right away and purchased the LP60. It was only $50 more and is a much better turntable. I have it set up with some cheapie amazon computer speakers and a sub. It sounds great with this basic setup, I can imagine how great it would sound with more expensive speakers! I may buy a second player in the red color (if I can find one!)

You wake up one day, and everyone around you has purchased a turntable. You tell yourself, they're a bunch of hipsters, and try to ignore them. It doesn't take long until you hear a record playing on a turntable and you're hooked! You get it! You hear what they're going on about. Now you have to buy a turntable too! Before you drop a ton of money, you need to know whether or not you're going to be able to really get into vinyl. This is what you buy!!! If you don't get into vinyl, no big deal! You haven't really lost much. If you do get into it, then you've got a pretty decent player without all of the new-fangled options, such as blue-tooth or USB connectivity. Nothing against those things, but I really think this is the best jumping off place. A clean, warm, truly analog sound, and it has a convenient built-in pre-amp so you can plug and play with almost any common receiver. I'm 100's of records deep now and I have my little, silver AT LP60 to thank for it. Audio Technica knows what they're doing and maybe my next TT will be another Audio Technica!

Looking to get back into the Vinyl side of music..

|

Posted 2 years ago.

I used to own a nifty vinyl player as a kid. That's where my appreciation on the medium started and I kind of wished I had continued on to build a good collection. I own most of my music through digital purchase these days [just so darn convenient], but I always wanted to rekindle my vinyl passion. I went through several entry level record players [Boytone, Jensen; to name a few] and I was never really satisfied with the sound or features. These brands are in no way bad, but I found their integrated speaker system to be terrible and worst of all they never shut off [even though you might have nice speakers attached]. Save yourself the hassle and get this Audio-Technica player. It's a wonderful place to start if you are looking to get back into records again. There is some assembly involved, but it's as easy as looping a belt to a gear [30 seconds tops]. The design is solid and space saving for those that don't want a large player. I have mine placed in my office and it fits nicely with some Bose speakers atop a utility desk. Buttons are super straight forward: 33/45 rpm button for differing records [adapter also included] along with a start / stop buttons. Comes with a nice slipmat, but I opted fro an acrylic slipmat to minimize static and enhance low tones. The price is hard to mess with too; considering the quality product you get in return. Bottom line: if you're new to vinyl or looking to get back into it...this is your player. If you are already a vinyl collector and a bit more seasoned at this, you may want the higher end models this wonderful brand has to offer.
Thank you and enjoy the music!!

I love this thing. I bought a very cheap record player before this one. ($50) was awful. Than came accross this one. Was blown away from the differnce in sound! Plays my old 70s records great!
If you are looking to get into or back into listening to records get this one. Its cheap looks good and sounds great.
But im still going to buy a different one in a year, will keep this one still!

I wanted a basic turntable to listen to my vinyl collection. It doesn't have bluetooth or a remote control or built in speakers...so it's perfect!!! The packaging was great and protected all of the components well during shipping. Set up was straightforward and simple, except I had to get a RCA coupler because the audio cables coming out of the unit are way too short unless you're going to sit your turntable directly on top of your tuner. The audio cables are also hard wired to the turntable, which I'm not a big fan of. I prefer plugging in my own quality RCA cables. You can start and stop records with the touch of a button and the arm lifts and moves automatically. When I first used the turntable the sound was very low and sound quality was poor...then I discovered the "Phono / Line" switch on the back of the case and it nearly blew me out of the room. It seems to be a quality unit especially considering the low cost. Sound is fantastic and needles can be easily replaced.

A:AnswerThis turntable is designed to be used in conjunction with a component stereo receiver. It features RCA outputs which would connect to the R/L stereo RCA jack inputs on the receiver.
It would be possible to eliminate the receiver if you owned a pair of powered speakers with RCA inputs.

A:AnswerYes, the AT-LP60 Turntable may be connected directly to powered type speakers thanks to a built-in phono preamplifier. To turn the preamplifier on, place the preamp selector switch located on the rear of the turntable in the LINE position. The built-in phono preamplifier raises the signal level from phono (low) to line (high) level, and it applies the RIAA equalization curve required to playback vinyl records.

A:AnswerYes you can. Just make certain that the turntables internal phono preamplifier is turned OFF. That is, the preamp selector switch that is located on the rear of the turntable should be placed in the PHONO position.

A:AnswerWhile it ;is usually said that the system is no better than its lowest quality part, you will get a bigger difference in sound based on speakers selected than anything else in the system. Yes you need a decent amp and sound source, but the speakers make a big difference in how things sound. While I do have some brand preference I will not pass that on not knowing if anything they make would be within your budget.
I will however suggest what to do to select a speaker,. Take a CD with you of music you like and are familiar with. Listen to it on high end equipment and speakers. Try a few different ones to get the sound you think is appropriate. Then audition equipment and speakers within your price range. Get as close to the high end as you can within your budget. Musical sound is very subjective and the ideal varies considerably depending on what type of music you listen to,.
Bottom line is I would suggest spending more than you want to on the speakers. They last way longer than anything else in the sound system. If you are concerned about quality of sound as opposed to just noise, it is an investment worthwhile making.

A:AnswerTechnically you could, the volume level will be at a fixed moderate level (with the built-in phono preamplifier turned on) however. There is no volume control on the turntable. You may want to consider using a Headphone Amplifier between the turntable and your headphones. Another option would be a headphone, such as our now discontinued ATH-OX7AMP model, that has a built-in headphone amplifier and a volume control.
